cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic. Channel logs: https://libera.irclog.whitequark.org/~h~yamahasynths
<cr1901>
Welcome to #yamahasynths, the IRC channel about the Yamaha FM sound chip internals as well as floppy disk/CD theory of operation
<andlabs>
look how else are we gonna get accurate Yamaha Disk Orchestra emulation
<andlabs>
:V
<furan>
I'm here by way of foone, I understand it is equal parts Yamaha FM sound chip internals and everything else
<cr1901>
Yes, that's about right :P. Floppy disks are very popular topic under the "everything else" umbrella.

<CatButts>
are OPL3 clones with proprietary FM mode extensions also on topic?
<cr1901>
of course. The OPM variant w/ proprietary register layout comes up semi-frequently too
<CatButts>
in my case, the ESSFM
<CatButts>
which is non-yamaha
<cr1901>
Yes, clones are on topic, but even if it weren't on topic is not enforced really :).
<cr1901>
Also, excellent real name according to Pidgin :P (Felis Posterior)
<CatButts>
yes
<CatButts>
just you wait till I get my vhost
<CatButts>
unrelated question, does anything exist out there for LA synths(D-50, MT-32, etc) besides MUNT?
<CatButts>
open sauce
<cr1901>
I'm not sure, eventually someone who can answer will chime in tho
* CatButts
sits on his butt
<CatButts>
this channel will be instrumental to my future shenanigans with the ESSFM
<CatButts>
I shall stick around
<cr1901>
How'd you find out about the channel? I advertise it occassionally, but haven't since Fleenode went to hell
<CatButts>
I googled "mt-32 IRC"
<cr1901>
Ahhh, the logger
<CatButts>
I am still on freenode
<cr1901>
I finally was able to get rid of my acct after the last channel I idle in (#winswitch) moved

<cr1901>
CatButts: Some more context- the web interface wq has is FPGA based... so I don't think reads would be out of the question if you wrote some HDL to capture the reads from the chip, store them in a buffer, and timestamp them (cycle number)
<cr1901>
But Idk what your scope is for your project, and whether writing HDL would be out of scope
<CatButts>
I have a windows driver
<CatButts>
for the portio
<CatButts>
now I just need to do the network and client API bits
<CatButts>
maybe I should have people execute C on my machine, via libtcc
<CatButts>
:p
<tunixman>
Or any other remote execution vulnerability. there's no need for a special effort there ;)
